FWIW, a large midwestern university has said it plans on having an open campus this fall:

 Purdue University, for its part, intends to accept students on campus in typical numbers this fall, sober about the certain problems that the COVID-19 virus represents, but determined not to surrender helplessly to those difficulties but to tackle and manage them aggressively and creatively.

 

The university's president, former politico Mitch Daniels, basically argues that young people can get covid-19 and be OK, so the challenge--while big--is about taking steps to protect the over 35 crowd.

My opinion is that it's a bit too early to make a prediction for the fall. If the daily new case counts drop by, say, half a month from now, I think schools will try to open with students in dorms and smaller-than-typical classes. But the decisions by several states make such a reduction in cases seemingly unlikely.
